the roadway, landing in a mass Of
splinters in the street. The inmates

injured, no one escaping without in

rounded a large field at the foot of the
hill. As the cars lie in their present
location they present a picture of abb

the car wheels and trucks are dis

about 8: 40 O'Clock, and came running
back, and said 'some one is robbing
the cars" A party started to the cars,
when Brien told Muse to go back and
get something to shoot with. Muse
went back towards the depot to get a
six-shooter, when three men jumped
from the door of the depot, placed a
six-shooter in his face and told him to
open the depot. With a revolver
under his ear Muse opened the safe,
and the robbers got two express pack
ages, one of s $500, one Of $500, and
another of $50 OF railroad money, and
a pocketbook of Muse with $135 in it,
and his gold watch worth $125. While
this was going on Brien and the yard
men were up the road a few hundred
yards, at the car which Muse saw the
men get out of, and which they found
had been broken open and set on fire.
After some trouble they succeeded in
putting the fire out.
saloon Men Burn Ont q rOhtb
siOn Worker.
HOWELL, Mich, March 14.-A little
before midnight, last night, a fire was
d~iscoveredin F. N. Monroe's hardware
store, by a couple of young men who
were passing at the time. An explo-
sion occurred at that time, the store
being badly torn and the men knocked
down. In a short time the entire row
of business blocks on Grand River
street, between Winan's Avenue and
East street, three blocks On Winan's
Avenue, and a row of frame buildings
on East street were in flames, caying
inward instead of outward. The
Greenaway block was all that saved
the remainder of the business part OF
the town. Mr.. Monroe is Chairman

mittee, and a hard worker for the pro-
hibitory amendment, and the first OF
the month received the following
letter:
Detroit-To F. N. Monroe, Howell,
Michigan-Sir: I must inform you
that you must stop your work in the
prohibition cause, or we will burn you
out root and branch. You may pre-
pare for the worst, as we are on your
track. Signed, Many Saloon Keepers.
Prohibitionists will consider this an
explanation of the cause of the fire.
